Actually, although I rarely saw it, I really hated the Flower Pot Men. Who talks like that? Well they do I suppose. I thought, as a child of 3, that this was really stupid!
And Andy Pandy was a wimp.
Noddy annoyed me. Too pleased with himself.
And the Moomins .... what on earth? Oh I see...
Plus later I couldn't look at Rhubarb and Custard - gave me migraine.
But the Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Chigley et al. mob. Yes. Now they knew a thing or two. You could depend on them. Need a fireman? You'd be ok. That was grown-up stuff. Real village and town life that was. True to life.
We still sing as my DD1 used to: "Here coms the Policeman, The big friendly Pop Pleece man..."
Of course, we all know that The Magic Roundabout was for 18+ year old students who used to rush back from lectures to watch it ..... Ahh well my dears, I am off with Ermintrude now...
